Rekha Jhunjhunwala is also an investor, just like her late husband, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala. Talking about the companies where Rekha had invested immensely are the likes of Titan, Metro Brands, Star Health and Allied Insurance Company. The businesswoman hardly makes public appearances but is known as one of the most humble entrepreneurs in the country. Months after her husband’s death, no wonder it would be both a proud and emotional moment for the doting wife, who had always supported and cheered Rakesh in his journey. Another inspiring thing about Rekha’s inclusion in Forbes India Rich List 2022 is the fact that she’s only the third woman in the Top 30, after Savitri Jindal (6th spot) and Vinod Rai Gupta (27th spot).
Last year when Forbes India Rich List 2021 was released, late business tycoon, Rakesh Jhunjhunwala was at the 36th spot in the list with a net worth of Rs. 39,527 crores. The business magnate was also called India’s Warren Buffet for his exceptional knowledge of stocks. For the unversed, at the age of 25, Rakesh had bought his first shares, which were of Tata Tea at Rs. 43 per share back in 1985. After years of ups and downs in the stock market, he soon established himself as the Big Bull of the Indian stock market. His inspirational rise from having a net worth of Rs. 5000 to Rs. 39,527 crores in a span of 37 years is still a benchmark for investors across the globe.
